Abstract

Hospitalists have a unique opportunity to provide a compassionate environment for patients and families, who themselves are facing fear and uncertainty. Recently, I was able to experience hospitalization from the other side of the hospital bed. In this short article, I share a few lessons I am learning from my recent experiences with my father, my daughter, and my own experience.
